Donald donated more to dems than repubs.

Post by Sarah »

One reason we can't trust Trump as a conservative anything, is that his history shows he gives his money to lefty politicians , presumably to make friends.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/04/28/ ... index.html

Trump has a long history of assisting Democrats

...For the record, Trump has given $541,650 to federal Democratic candidates and fundraising committees going back to 1990, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. That compares with $429,450 he's contributed to federal Republican candidates and committees over the same period.

He's handed out money to Democratic statewide candidates as well. In 2009, for instance, Trump cut a $25,000 check to former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe for his unsuccessful 2009 Virginia gubernatorial bid...

....Paul, who was visiting the state to lay some early groundwork for a possible 2016 presidential bid, ribbed Trump for giving money to a pair of high-profile Democrats: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and New York Rep. Charlie Rangel...

...Moments after arriving at the Des Moines airport on Trump's private aircraft, Cohen was asked about Trump's $50,000 donation to former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's mayoral campaign in Chicago.

His answer: "Mr. Trump gives money to everybody."

"It's irrelevant as to whether or not it's Republican or Democrat," Cohen added. "He is an individual who looks to individuals and not the party. There are many business deals he does that that requires."

Cohen said Trump contributed to Emanuel's campaign after being asked to do so by his agent, Ari Emanuel, Rahm's brother....

...Over the last two decades, Trump gave money to a number of high-profile Democrats and liberal icons, including Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Tom Daschle and Joe Biden.

The biggest recipient of Trump's largesse? The scandal-plagued Rangel, who has taken $24,750 from Trump since the 1990 election cycle....

The Elongated Muskrat gives money to both parties in the USA. It is a good investment.

I like to think there is an alternative reality where Trump became a Democrat president, and has Fox criticising him and CNN playing down his philandering, Bill Clinton style. Then you'd have machine Democrats saying how much of an inspiration he was to black entrepreneurs and the religious right saying he was an evil adulterer.

Trump and Biden work for the same masters - all those who lead or are part of the Beast and the Whore, who are still working with each other. Both actors.

I’d much rather have Trump than Biden as president.

The two parties weren’t really that dissimilar when Donald was donating to them.

The Democrats have just gone mental.

Not that the Republicans are any better.

Good point. Back in the eighties they knew what the difference between a man and a woman was. They also had links to trade unions meaning they had to be involved with the common man.

Look at that clown Boris. The guy who wrote articles saying the world is overpopulated and that Turkey (pop. 80 million and no border control) should join the E.U. ... a WEFer who appointed a card carrying Communist (Susan Michie) to run the UK during lockdown and attacked religious freedom. And some Brexiteers think that man was on their side? I've seen lefties on Twitter describe him as a Libertarian!

Sarah,

Donald Trump was president for 4 years.

It is no longer a question of whether he supports the current Democrat/Communist progressive agenda. He already proved that he does not.

The mistake is thinking that Democrats are the only ones doing the bidding of the communists. Communists lie and deceive. They use the divisive social issues to manipulate the massess. But the Russian media machine took over alt media and libertarianism in this country to trick them into only focusing on liberals and big government folks as the bad guys. Donald Trump furthered their agenda of ramping up the money printing machine, encouraging low interest rates, having that four year charade making us think we were going to have a China trade deal, which propped up the stock market. And all his policies with Israel were part of their plan. They use the repubs and dems to get the job done, just from different angles. Trump succeeded in making his supporters look like extremists, which is part of the plan.

Trump's platform when he was running was that he was going to go after the "deep state" and drain the swamp. Not sure how his actions prove that.
